Firewall Setup

Since the application hosts local web services, it attempts to open port at startup. There are two options to make it succeed:

  • Run the application with elevated privileges (as Administrator) - no further setup required.
  • Reserve port on the Windows firewall, so all system users, or selected user, may run the application without elevated privileges.

To reserve the default port 55555, follow these steps:

  1. Open the admin command prompt:
    • For Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 - open the Start menu Win, type cmd, choose Command Prompt, right click on it and choose Run as Administrator.
    • Alternative way for Windows 8.1 and 10 - press Win-X and choose Command Prompt (Admin).
  2. Type this command for registering the default port and confirm it by pressing the Enter key (change the port number if custom one is needed):
C:\Windows\system32\netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:55555/ user=Everyone
  1. If there was no registration for this port and url address before, it should succeed.
  2. Close the command prompt and restart the UXC app.
